Two Weeks Chapter 2: Day One



Tsukushi woke up to find herself staring at the ceiling in her apartment around three in the morning thinking about what she had done. She doesn't really know what possessed her to say those things especially to him and ohh yeah with the guys standing there but she knew it would get this Tsukasa's attention. This was the arrogant boy that would accept her offer. She is desperately hoping that he doesn't actually expect her to pay up. Well if everything works out the way she has planned then she won't. What was she thinking? Strangely enough she keeps thinking weither that baka feels the same way but then again he is a guy.

Sighing in frustration over her decision she tries to decide on a course of action for today. Since he has to be in the hospital for at least the next couple of days she has to find things that will trigger his memory there. Well I guess she figures I could just talk with him today, but then again Tsukasa never was one to really talk. Then she just laughed to herself of the absurdity of the situation she had gotten herself into. This Tsukasa the one that doesn't remember half the things that he has done for a chance of what she just offered to the brain dead one back there at the hospital. Well ok I guess I can talk with him for a bit but then what to do the rest of the day since this was Tsukasa, the old grumpy brat Tsukasa, her job would not be easy but if she didn't try this then she would have to give up and weeds don't give up.

With that last bit of determination Tsukushi fell back to sleep trying to plot out the days conversation in her mind.

Meanwhile back at the Hospital Tsukasa was having just a hard a time sleeping. This time he bolted straight up from his bed as if the devil himself was chasing him. When he thought about it he couldn't remember what about the dream had been so scary but then again he couldn't remember anything about the dream at all. He thought about pressing the call button just to yell at whatever nurse was foolish enough to come in and answer it but then decided against it. He couldn't figure out why since blaming one of them for his lousy night sleep did sound like a lot of fun but . somehow it just seemed wrong. He had this nagging little voice that told him to stop whining and go back to sleep. It sounded familiar but he couldn't place it. It was just plain strange. Everything since he had woken up in the hospital had seemed just plain strange from the way his friends were acting to the plain girl that made that silly proposition. Ohh yeah he did agree it that didn't he. He still couldn't figure out why, yeah she wasn't bad looking but he didn't what her that way as for that fact he didn't really want to see her again let alone have to spend time with her for the next two weeks. What was happening to him since when did he accept strange propositions from plain annoying girls. No wait that was it for some reason she didn't annoy him. He kind of felt sorry for her. Wait a minute the great Doumyouji does not feel sorry for strange plain girls that claim to be his girlfriend. It was bad enough when the rich pretty ones did. Well at least she doesn't appear to be a whiner he thought. Maybe these two weeks won't be too bad besides he thought it will give me someone other than the nurses to boss around. And with that thought and a strange smile that come out of no where he fell back into his strange sleep filled with dreams of vague images of a time and girl he couldn't consciously remember.

Tsukushi woke in a start as her alarm went off. She was having the nicest dream that Tsukasa and her actually made it through an entire date without fighting or being chased by some one and then hard reality came crashing down as yesterday's replay that he doesn't remember her replays before her eyes. She feels like she wants to cry but doesn't. Tears aren't going to do anything she tells herself. The only way to get him back is that silly proposition. At least she still remembers the old Tsukasa well enough to know that he wouldn't refuse such an offer but weither or not he will actually make her act on it was an entirely different story. Why was she dwelling on this she needed to get up take a shower have breakfast and pack a lunch for the two of them for her first day with him at the hospital. She knew that he would be complaining about the food already despite the fact she would grumble about hers too but hopefully not as much.

About 20 minutes later Tsukushi was dressed and attempting to do something nice with her hair. She wouldn't admit but him calling her plain really did strike a nerve deep down for some reason yesterday.

With her hair put up in a semi-nice bun and wearing a short skirt and blouse with lunch in hand she headed off to the hospital. Thankful it was summer break so she didn't have to miss school to spend this time with him or else she might just let him stay the way he was for a few months till Christmas. Ha she thought that might actually seem like a break. No Tsukasa to tell me I'm working too hard, or not eating enough but deep down Tsukushi loved that he did do those things it just let her know how much he really did care about her.

At the hospital Tsukasa wasn't having that great of a morning. So far he had gotten woken up when he would have rather stayed sleeping, so annoying girl on crutches came to visit him but he got rid of her before she even completely got across the threshold of his room and his breakfast was the worst thing he had ever tasted. So now by this point he was now harassing the nurse that was attempting to change the dressing on his would except that Tsukasa yelling at her for no reason kept her hovering just outside the door.

Hoping he would calm down enough for her to go in there and do her job since the first time she attempted to enter the room a pudding cup came flying at her head. She definitely would be happy when they would be able to release him in a couple of days.

This was the scene that great Tsukushi when she arrived at the hospital. A yelling Tsukasa and his poor nurse cowering outside his room. She was so angry at him but at the same time she just wanted to break out laughing since this scene was very comical.

"Hi" Tsukushi said to the nurse as she suddenly recognised her from yesterday as one of the boy's friends.

"Is he always like this and came you possibly get him to calm down so I can change his bandage" The nurse said trying to be brave but Tsukushi could tell she was just trying to find anyway of doing her job without having to be the one to calm him down.

Tsukushi did a mock salute to the nurse and began to walk into his room.

"I thought I told you to go away it's fine. Do I have to call in your supervisor????" Tsukasa said threateningly until he looked up and saw the girl from yesterday staring at him with an unamused look on her face. He was about to yell at her for leaving him alone with these idiots most of the morning until he finally took notice of her outfit. He had to admit it was in good taste for once maybe he bought it for her if she really was who she claimed to be. At least now he had someone to amuse him.

"Good morning Doumyouji!!! I see you are already threatening your nurses." Tsukushi said in a happy cheerful term

"So" was all he replied.

"So...you need to have your bandage changed if you want out of her in the next couple of days or maybe you would rather continue to stay here for the next couple of weeks." That hit the right nerve and she knew it.

"Fine let her come in and do it." Tsukasa sounded like a five year old that had finally conceded defeat. She was right of course he thought he did need to get out this hospital he had only been here a day and it was driving him crazy. That and he would of course have to be better if he wanted to collect his reward from his campaign he wasn't going to give her any excuse not to pay up. Well at least not right now.

About ten minutes later the bandage was all changed and Tsukushi had rearranged Tsukasa's pillows about five times and was getting angry each time he asked her since she knew he was doing it just to be fussy and to have someone to boss around.

She was just about to smack him across the head when he said "that good so what are you going to do to me today to make me remember?"

"Talk to you" Tsukushi said not liking the his choice of words. "What else did you think that I would do????"

He started to laugh. This was going to be fun. He found it fun trying to get her mad. Maybe these two weeks were going to be worth it. She definitely was already proving to be more interesting than when she thought she was Rui's girlfriend. Yes, he thought this was definitely going to be worth it.

Meanwhile Akira and Soujirou were over at Rui's trying to decide what to do about this situation.

"I still can't believe she did that do you???" Akira commented to the sleepy Rui and the over anxious Soujirou.

"Well by the sounds of it at lest Tsukasa is finally going to get laid if he doesn't chicken out." Soujirou adds.

Rui on the other hand was staring blankly out the window completely understanding why but not certain he should mention it.

"Rui!!!" they say in unison.

"She did it because she knows that Tsukasa once he has set his mind to something will never back out. I other words he will do more or less what she wants for the next two weeks as long as it benefit him and considering he is stuck in the hospital he probably sees her as a way of amusing himself." Rui states before continuing to stare out the window.

"Huh??" Oh well they were thinking.

"So when should we go over and rescue Tsukasa???" asked Akira

"Don't you mean Makino???" replies Soujirou

"How about we head over after lunch and a nap." Confirms Rui.

Soujirou and Akira think that sounds ok except for the nap part. They weren't sleepy but hungry yes. With that silently decided they grab a protesting Rui that he is still sleepy and head off for lunch and a visit to the hospital to make sure that their two friends hadn't killed one another yet cause know how stubborn Tsukasa was he wasn't going to remember her anytime soon and they weren't certain how long Tsukushi could put up with his former behaviour before slapping him upside the head.

Tsukushi was about ready to kill him. There was no doubt to that everytime she tried to strike up a nice conversation to find out exactly what he did remember he would either complain about something and send her off to fetch something or he would would phrase his answer to purposely provoke her. She was certain of that and he seemed to be enjoying himself for quite awhile with that one. Now the bastard was dropping stuff and getting her to pick it up and she was more than certain by the way he challenged her to pick it up it was because he wanted a good view of her back side. She was just about to show him a back side the back side of her hand that was when.

"I'm hungry. When is it going to be time for lunch???" Tsukasa whined now bored with his latest game of trying to get a glimpse of her underwear. "Aren't they supposed to feed me here. Not that the food is worth eating grant you."

"I packed us a lunch. Would that be expectable???" Asked a somewhat ticked off Tsukushi.

"I guess so. It probably can't get any worse than what they have been feeding me here." Tsukasa claims like a picky five year old.

Tsukushi then proceeds to unpack the lunch and set it out on the bed picnic style. She was amazed he didn't say anything through the entire meal. All he did was every once and a while stare at her strangely and then continue eating.

Tsukasa stared at his unusual companion. He liked her more and more. She was fun he decided. She wasn't a push over he could tell that by the murderous look she got when he purposely tried to provoke her. The lunch wasn't even half bad not that he would ever tell her that as it was he was thinking of telling her that he thought this lunch of hers might be the death of him. But then they were interrupted by the arrival of the rest of the F4.

"Yo" say Akira and Soujirou thinking that the two of them look rather cosy sitting there eating lunch while Rui hides just inside the doorway.

Tsukasa looks up and asks, "What are you guys doing here??? Don't you guys have better things to be doing then coming and bothering me??" Tsukasa was not happy to see them. They would ruin all his fun.

"Umm, well we thought that you two might want some company other than yourselves for a while." Says Soujirou "But if you guys have something better to do with us gone then we'll leave."

"NO! We haven't been doing anything. Just talking, right Doumyouji???" Tsukushi exclaims while a blush keeps up her face at Soujirou accusation.

"Yeah what makes you think that I would want to do anything with this girl. I have only allowed her to spend time with me because of.." Tsukasa exclaims. Purposely not re-mentioning their bargain by just trying to pay it off like it was nothing.

This bantering and insult went on for another few minutes until it grew awkward and silent and the guys decided things were well underway towards uniting the two and that they should probably leave before Tsukasa got angry and kicked everyone out including Tsukushi.

"Well we really should get going." Says Akira

"Yeah right we have to get ready for our hot dates tonight huh Rui??? Exclaims Soujirou. They then grab Rui who was just staring into thin air and hurriedly made an exit.

"Well they sure made a quick exit you would think that they thought that I was going to harm them or something?" Tsukasa says calmly until he looks at the look Tsukushi is giving him that says she thinks that he actually would. "Well if you are going to sit there and give me that look all after noon you can join them" he yells.

"Maybe I should it's not like you have done anything that I have wanted today despite our bargain maybe I should just leave you here all alone." And then Tsukushi turns and starts walking towards the door.

"Wait!!! Don't go!! I'll behave. I'll even talk. Just don't leave me here all by myself."

"Fine but the minute you start acting like a five year old the day is over."

"I don't act like a five year old you do"

"Fine then I'm going"

"No don't. What do you want to know???" Tsukasa says as he pats the bed beside him trying to lure her to come and sit on the bed.

"Fine." She says and she takes a seat on the bed beside him with one leg tucked under her and the other one hanging off the bed incase she needs a quick escape. "What all do you remember about the last three years?"

"Well..." Tsukasa is thinking and then realizes that he actually doesn't remember any of the last three years. "Actually I don't remember any of it. The very last thing I remember, I threatened some idiot that ran into me three years ago at school and then it's mostly blanks."

"So you don't remember the last three years at all??" she asks searchingly for something, a glimpse that he still remember anything about her.

"Nope just bits and pieces mostly times with the guys and a few strange scenes arging with Kaede about something important, that's about it." He admits with a shrug. What did she expect that he would all of a sudden remember everything.

That was it the argument with Kaede, it was probably about the two of. It wasn't much but it was enough to keep her going. She was still in there somewhere she just had to dig deeper. But for today it was enough. She felt like leaving but knew he would get angry if she did so instead she suggested they watch a movie.

The rest of the afternoon went by fine except for the fight about which movie to watch. Tsukasa won once he used his invalid card and promised to be better company tomorrow. It was around dinner time when she decided it was time to leave. That and visiting hours were coming to a close.

"Night Tsukasa see you tomorrow" she said and then turned to kiss him on the cheek in a sisterly manner but he was step ahead of her and instead kissed her gently on the lips. Shocked she broke the kiss quickly and hurried out of the room.

Tsukasa enjoyed watching the movie. Thank god he won the choice of it though or else he would have had to sit through a chick flick but then again for her maybe he wouldn't have minded so much. The she turned to him to say goodbye and leaned towards him as if to give him a kiss. He decided not to waste the opportunity and redirected her kiss to his lips. After that she speed out of the room while he weakly said "Goodbye, see you tomorrow." He wasn't expecting it but he really liked the kiss. He was definitely going to have to kiss her again. He was starting to think that maybe he wanted her to turnout to be his girlfriend, but then again he was the great Doumyouji he didn't need a girlfriend especially a poor plain one like that that. Regardless that kiss put him a good mood the rest of the night. He was even nice to his nurses that evening and decided against complaining about his dinner.

Tsukushi after speeding out of the hospital stopped and was secretly happy. Maybe this was actually working. He did kiss her after all. Maybe this would work and she would have her Tsukasa back soon. She had to come up with a better plan of action for tomorrow other than talking. Then an idea came into her head.







Well there is Chapter 2. Review if you want more.

What is Tsukushi going to do next? Will Tsukasa still be a jerk?
